Ingredients

Cheesecake Batter:

  • 1 1/2 cups cream cheese, softened (full-fat)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add Eggs and Cream: Incorporate eggs one at a time, then mix in heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until silky.
  4. Combine Flour: Gently fold in sifted flour until just combined.
  5. Bake: Pour batter into the pan, tap to release air bubbles, and bake for 40–45 minutes until golden with a slight jiggle.
  6. Chill and Serve: Cool to room temperature, refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight, then slice and enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Avoid overbaking; the center should have a slight jiggle.
  • For the best texture and clean slices, refrigerate thoroughly before serving.
